Description:
Of the past recent, the use of e-business has been up-taken amazingly in various business sectors
considering its characteristics of ubiquity, universal standards, global reach, richness, information density,
interactivity, and personalization or customization of messages (Laudon & Traver, 2006). The growth is
said to be stimulated by the increasing demand for data processing and storage, that is driven by several
factors including: growth of the internet communication and entertainment use; increase in online
shopping and related transactions; increase in electronic transactions in financial services such as online
banking and electronic trading; shift to electronic of company records; growth in global commerce and
services; and, adoption of satellite navigation and electronic shipment tracking in tracking. It has in turn
been promising both for economic gains and environmentally sustainability (due to reduced commuting
and use of paper works).
